​The Ohio State Bar Association represents more than 24,000 Ohio lawyers and judges, approximately 65 percent of Ohio law practitioners. Total membership is about 31,000, which includes paralegal/legal assistant and law student associate members.

The OSBA’s core purpose, as specified in our mission statement, is “to advance the professional interests of members of the Ohio State Bar Association.” Through our surveys, it is clear legal professionals throughout Ohio are embracing new technologies in their legal practices in increasing numbers. The OSBA has a solid base of digital products, and will continue to monitor the horizon for new services to continue fulfilling this mission statement.

Standards

The OSBA adheres to the Interactive Advertising Bureau’s (IAB) interactive advertising units. The IAB specifies standardized sizes for digital ads, known as IMUs (interactive marketing units). This helps streamline our advertisers’ efforts, while allowing us to design our digital member services to accommodate advertisers’ needs. We make every attempt to design our new media to display your message to our readers in a pleasing and informative format. Being there when and where the information is needed is key to our servicing the legal profession of Ohio.
